Definitions
- the present invention generally relates to reclosable plastic bags and, more particularly, to a method of applying a slider to a fastener-carrying web of plastic film.
- a continuous fastener is sealed to opposing longitudinal edges of a folded web of thermoplastic film moving in a longitudinal direction.
- the folded web is sealed at bag-width distances apart along side seals that are generally transverse to the direction of web movement.
- sliders are applied to the fastener at bag-width distances apart either just before or just after the side seals are formed in the folded web.
- the sliders are applied to the fastener prior to attaching the fastener to the moving web.
- the fastener is positioned relative to the moving web such that the fastener can be easily accessed and controlled for installing the sliders.
- the fastener is initially sealed near a center, rather than an edge, of a web of thermoplastic film moving in a longitudinal direction.
- the moving web is then folded in half along a longitudinal fold with the fastener inside the web and proximate the fold.
- the folded web is sealed at bag-width distances apart along side seals that are generally transverse to the direction of web movement.
- an object of the present invention is to provide a method of applying a slider to a fastener-carrying web of plastic film that allows the fastener to be easily accessed and controlled for installing the slider and performing other fastener-related operations after the fastener is attached to the web.
- the fastener includes interlockable profiles and fins depending from the respective profiles.
- One of the fins is attached to the web of plastic film such that the profiles are immediately adjacent to the web.
- the fastener is folded away from the web about the attached fin such that the profiles and proximate portions of the fins are oriented at an angle, preferably about 90 degrees, relative the web. Because the profiles and proximate fin portions are oriented at an angle relative to the web, they can be easily accessed and controlled for applying the slider to the profiles and performing other fastener-related operations.
- FIG. 1 depicts a method of making a slider-operated fastener
- FIG. 2 is a view taken along line 2 — 2 in FIG. 1;
- FIG. 3 is a view taken along line 3 — 3 in FIG. 1;
- FIG. 4 is a view taken along line 4 — 4 in FIG. 1;
- FIG. 5 depicts a method of forming, filling and sealing reclosable plastic bags employing the slider operated fastener illustrated in FIG. 1 .
- FIG. 1 depicts a method of making a slider-operated fastener for use in reclosable plastic bags.
- a continuous fastener 10 including first and second opposing tracks 12 and 14 .
- the tracks 12 and 14 include respective first and second interlocking profiles 16 and 18 and respective first and second fins 20 and 22 extending downward from the respective profiles 16 and 18 .
- the profile 16 preferably includes a rib, and the profile 18 preferably includes a groove for receiving the rib. Further details concerning the construction of the profiles 16 and 18 may be obtained from U.S. Pat. No. 5,007,143 to Herrington, which is incorporated herein by reference in its entirety.
- the fastener 10 may be unwound from a spool or the like.
- the fastener 10 is conveyed along a web of plastic film 50 to a fin seal station 100 (FIGS. 1 and 2 ).
- the fin seal station 100 includes a guide 102 with a splitter 104 that extends between the fins 20 and 22 .
- the fin seal station 100 also includes a heated tack or seal bar 106 .
- the bar 106 is reciprocated into and away from the fin 22 and the splitter 104 while the fastener 10 and the web 50 are temporarily stopped. When this occurs, the fin 22 is lightly tacked or sealed to the web 50 at a seal line 108 (FIGS. 3 and 4 ).
- the fastener 10 engages a plow or ramp 110 that folds the fastener 10 about the seal line 108 to an orientation approximately perpendicular to the web 50 (see, for example, FIG. 3 ).
- Rollers, guides and the like may be located downstream from the plow 110 to assist in maintaining the fastener 10 in this orientation perpendicular to the web.
- the fastener-carrying web 50 is conveyed by to a preseal station 112 .
- the preseal station includes a pair of reciprocating seal bars 24 and 26 . Either both of the seal bars 24 and 26 move back and forth between open and closed positions, or one of the seal bars is stationary while the other seal bar moves back and forth. At least one seal bar is heated. The other bar may be heated as well, or may simply serve as a compliant backing against which the heated seal bar applies pressure and temperature when the seal bars 24 and 26 are brought together. The temperature, pressure, and dwell time of the seal bars 24 and 26 are properly adjusted to allow the seal bars 24 and 26 to impart a U-shaped preseal 28 .
- the preseal 28 includes a pair of opposing sides 28 a , 28 b and a bottom 28 c bridging the opposing sides.
- the opposing sides 28 a , 28 b are generally located along an upper portion of the fins 20 and 22 and extend downward from the interlocked profiles 16 and 18 .
- the bottom 28 c is located along a lower portion of the fins 20 and 22 .
- the seal bar 24 has a U-shaped projection 30 corresponding to the shape of the preseal 28 .
- the preseal 28 is illustrated as being generally U-shaped, the area between the sides 28 a , 28 b of the preseal 28 may be sealed as well so that the preseal 28 appears like a solid rectangle rectangle, or a bracket shape to minimize the heat imparted on the lower portion of the fins 20 and 22 causing stretching, shrinkage and wrinkling of fins.
- the preseal 28 preferably does not extend into the profiles 16 and 18 due to the technique for installing sliders on the fastener 10 later in the manufacturing process.
- the fastener-carrying web 50 is conveyed to a notching station 114 .
- the notching station 114 includes a pair of reciprocating cutters 32 and 34 . Either both of the cutters 32 and 34 move back and forth between open and closed positions, or one of the cutters is stationary while the other cutter moves back and forth.
- the cutter 32 forms a rectangular projection, while the cutter 34 forms a rectangular hole for receiving the projection. Other shapes may be used as well.
- the web 50 is temporarily stopped at the notching station with the preseal 28 aligned between the separated cutters 32 and 34 .
- the cutters 32 and 34 are brought together such that the projection of the cutter 32 punches a rectangular section 36 through the hole of the cutter 34 , thereby leaving a U-shaped notch 38 in the fastener 10 .
- the section 36 Prior to being punched out, the section 36 is disposed between the opposing sides 28 a , 28 b of the preseal 28 and above the bottom 28 c of the preseal 28 . Therefore, the preseal 28 generally encompasses the notch 38 and defines a periphery thereof such that the preseal provides a leak-resistant barrier to entry into an interior of the fastener 10 between the fins 20 and 22 via the notch 38 .
- the leak-resistant barrier effectively minimizes leaks in the reclosable plastic bags ultimately formed by the manufacturing process.
- the fastener-carrying web 50 is conveyed to a slider insertion station 116 (FIGS. 1 and 3 ). While the web 50 is temporarily stopped at the slider insertion station 116 , a slider 40 from a source of multiple sliders is positioned within the notch 38 . Further details concerning the source of multiple sliders may be obtained from U.S. patent application Ser. No. 09/307,893 entitled “Assembly and Accumulation of Sliders for Profiled Zippers”, filed May 10, 1999, and incorporated herein by reference in its entirety. The slider 40 is then threaded onto the fastener 10 in response to relative movement of the slider 40 and the fastener 10 .
- the fastener-carrying web 50 is conveyed to an end stop applicator 118 .
- the end stop applicator 118 applies terminations or end stops 42 and 44 to the respective fastener ends 46 and 48 on opposite sides of the notch 38 .
- the end stop 42 will be located at the fastener end 46 of one bag, while the end stop 44 will be located at the fastener end 48 of the adjacent bag.
- the end stops perform three primary functions: (1) preventing the slider 40 from going past the ends of the fastener, (2) holding the profiles together to resist stresses applied to the profiles during normal use of the plastic bag, and (3) minimizing leakage from inside of the plastic bag out through the fastener ends.
- the end stop applicator 118 includes a pair of chilled, reciprocating molds 51 and 52 . Either both of the molds 51 and 52 move back and forth between open and closed positions, or one of the molds is stationary while the other mold moves back and forth. While the web 50 is temporarily stopped, the molds 51 and 52 close around the fastener ends 46 and 48 . A predetermined amount of melted/softened plastic material is then forced around and between the profiles 16 and 18 at the fastener ends 46 and 48 by a conventional back pressure device (not shown) coupled to a supply tube. The molds 51 and 52 form channels for receiving the plastic material and guiding it to the fastener ends 46 and 48 .
- each end stop is in the form of a fairly rigid strap/clip that wraps over the top of the fastener.
- One end of the strap is provided with a rivet-like member that penetrates through the fastener fins and into a cooperating opening at the other end of the strap.
- the various stations simultaneously perform their respective functions on different parts of the continuous fastener 10 spaced approximately at bag-width distances apart. Therefore, as the preseal station 112 forms a new preseal 28 , (1) the notching station 114 forms a new notch 38 within a previously formed preseal, (2) the slider insertion station 116 installs a slider 40 via a previously formed notch, and (3) the end stop applicator 118 applies new end stops 42 and 44 proximate a previously installed slider. After each of the stations has completed its respective function on the stopped fastener 10 , movement of the web 50 is resumed.
- the web 50 is moved for approximately a bag-width distance so that the next station can perform its respective function.
- the preseals 28 are advantageous in that they allow the fastener 10 to be controlled during such downstream operations as notch formation, slider installation, and end stop installation and when the fastener 10 is tensioned by various rollers in the bag making machine.
- the preseals 28 keep the interlocked profiles 16 and 18 together and prevent them from moving longitudinally relative to each other.
- the fastener 10 can be easily accessed and controlled for the presealing, notching, slider installing and end stop installing operations.
- the fastener 10 is folded down onto the web 50 by a second plow or ramp 120 (FIGS. 1 and 4 ).
- the fastener 10 and web 50 are then ready for being formed into individual bags with reclosable fasteners.
- the fastener-carrying web 50 is conveyed to a folding station 54 (FIG. 5 ).
- the web 50 is folded in half with the fastener 10 inside the web 50 and proximate the fold 56 .
- the web 50 is conveyed over a horizontal roller 58 , under a triangular folding board 60 , and then between a pair of closely spaced vertical rollers 62 .
- the folded web 50 includes a pair of overlapping panels 64 and 66 joined along the fold 56 .
- Other embodiments could include the fastener 10 inside the web opposite the fold at the web panel edges. For exposed zipper, the fastener would be sealed to the web proximate to the top edge of the web.
- the fastener fins 20 and 22 are permanently sealed to the respective web panels 66 and 64 by respective seal bars 68 and 70 .
- the seal bars 68 and 70 are sufficiently wide that they generate the fin seals across the entire width of a bag produced by the method in FIG. 5 . Either both of the seal bars 68 and 70 move back and forth between open and closed positions, or one of the seal bars is stationary while the other seal bar moves back and forth.
- the fastener-carrying web 50 is temporarily stopped while the seal bars are brought together to seal the fastener 10 to the web 50 .
- Both of the seal bars 68 and 70 are preferably heated.
- the temperature, pressure, and dwell time of the seal bars 68 and 70 are properly adjusted to allow the seal bars 68 and 70 to generate the permanent fin seals.
- the seal bars 68 and 70 are replaced with a static heat sealing mechanism such as a pair of hot air blowers that blow heated air onto the respective fastener fins.
- the web panels 64 and 66 are sealed to each other along a side seal 72 by a pair of reciprocating seal bars 74 and 76 .
- the side seal 72 is transverse to a direction of movement of the folded web 50 and is aligned with a center of the notch 38 (and preseal 28 ). Also, the side seal 72 extends from the folded bottom 56 to an open top 53 of the folded web 50 . Either both of the seal bars 74 and 76 move back and forth between open and closed positions, or one of the seal bars is stationary while the other seal bar moves back and forth.
- the folded web 50 is temporarily stopped while the seal bars are brought together to seal the web panels 64 and 66 to each other. At least one seal bar is heated.
- the other bar may be heated as well, or may simply serve as a compliant backing against which the heated seal bar applies pressure and temperature when the seal bars 74 and 76 are brought together.
- the temperature, pressure, and dwell time of the seal bars 74 and 76 are properly adjusted to allow the seal bars 74 and 76 to generate the side seal 72 .
- the folded web 50 is conveyed to a cutter 78 for separating the folded web 50 into individual plastic bags. While the folded web 50 is temporarily stopped, the cutter 78 cuts the folded web 50 along a center of the side seal 72 to produce the individual plastic bag 80 .
- the plastic bag 80 is opened with an opening device 79 and filled with a product through its open top 53 at a filling station 82 . Finally, the open top 53 is sealed by a heat sealing mechanism 84 to form final seal 86 .
- the end result is a filled and sealed bag 80 ready for shipment to a customer such as a grocery store or convenience store.
- the various stations simultaneously perform their respective functions on different parts of the continuous web 50 .
- the fastener fins 20 and 22 can be permanently sealed to the respective web panels 64 and 66 by respective seal bars 68 and 70
- the web panels 64 and 66 carrying previously sealed fastener fin sections can be sealed to each other along a side seal 72 by the seal bars 74 and 76
- the folded web 50 can be cut along a previously generated side seal.
- the fastener may be folded prior to being attached to the web.
- the fastener profiles are folded relative to distal portions of the fastener fins, and then one of the distal fin portions is attached to the web.
- the equipment used in the fastener and bag manufacturing processes may be modified so that the processes are entirely continuous with no temporary stoppages in the movement of the fastener or bag making web.
- any and all of the unit operations may be performed (1) during a continuous web motion such as a rotary or continuous draw machine or (2) during the web index of an intermittent motion machine.
